Clone tool followed by manual editing is about the best you could do on the individual numbers. For the green circles, you might be able to select and copy each of those locations to a new image, and work with the colors, levels, and other settings to see if you can neutralize the green, and then paste that back in to the original image.

Gimp Tips Part 6: Using The Clone Tool. Digital photography truly is amazing.

Today, a photograph can be manipulated until it doesn't resemble the original photograph at all, and still look remarkably authentic. How do they do that? Well, certainly there are different levels of expertise in digial image manipulation, but The Gimp offers a simple little tool that makes that manipulation easier than most people think.

It's called the Clone Tool. For this week's tutorial, we'll be going through the steps to take what some would see as being a defect of an otherwise great photograph. If you notice, there is a water bottle on the rocks on the bottom-left portion of the image, which seems horribly out of place. To begin, you'll need to use the magnify tool to zoom into the area of the image which contains the bottle. Then select the clone tool as is circled below. The clone tool is used by taking one portion of an image and using it to paint another portion of the same image. After painting a while, my image looked like the image below:

Gimp Advanced Guide - 8.3 The Emboss and Bump map Filters. There are two filters that are particularly useful for rendering. These are Emboss and Bump map. The Emboss filter, found in Image:Filters/Distorts, creates the effect that an image is embossed into a thin metal plate. Figure 8.9 illustrates the use of the filter for a very simple case. Figure 8.9(a) shows an image that was created using a radial gradient, and Figure 8.9(b) shows the corresponding dialog for the Emboss filter. The three sliders in the filter dialog control the embossing effect, and Figure 8.10 shows a 3D scene that defines the effect of each one.

When the light source is on one side of the object, the other side must be in shadow, as shown in Figure 8.10.

One of the things that I’ve never been able to offer before today, simply because I have no skills at it, is a robust mapping tutorial or series. So I reached out to the community at Cartographer’s Guild, probably the best mapping resource on the internet, and immediately I had a volunteer willing to help out newbiedm.com readers with their rpg mapping.Jonathan Roberts, a published cartographer who has done work for Mongoose Publishing, Kobold Quarterly, Open Design, and other publishers, has graciously accepted to provide us with a series on mapping. Jonathan has a website called Fantastic Maps, where you can see his work.
